Sign in to Chrome

When you sign in to Chrome, you don't need to worry about your settings being "stuck" on one device. Your history, bookmarks, passwords, and other Chrome browser preferences can be saved and synced to your Google Account, so you can access them on any device.

Signing into Chrome makes it easier to use Google services, like Gmail, Youtube, and Maps, since you'll generally only need to sign in once from your browser. This allows Google and Chrome to bring you a consistent experience across Google services.

Your settings and data are synced to your Google Account.
When you sign in to Chrome, your Chrome settings on that computer are saved and synced to your Google Account. When you sign in to the same account on another computer or device, Chrome makes your saved settings available there.

If your computer is stolen or broken, you can recover your history, settings and data, such as bookmarks, apps, extensions, themes, etc. Simply sign in to Chrome again to bring them back.

Don't sign in to Chrome if you're using a public or untrusted computer. When you set up Chrome with your Google Account, a copy of your data is stored on the computer you're using and can be accessed by other people using the same computer. To remove your data, you'll need to remove yourself from Chrome.

Changes to Chrome will sync right away. If you've signed in to Chrome on multiple devices, and have enabled sync, any changes you make to Chrome on one device automatically apply to the others.

Secure your data. To keep your information secure, synced data is encrypted when it travels between your computer and Google’s servers. As an added layer of protection, your saved passwords are encrypted on Google’s servers using a cryptographic key. You also have the option to encrypt all your synced data. You can remove your synced data from your account at any time.
